What pretty bracelets. Nice job, and I love the buttons on the second bracelet.

Any hints on tying off the plastic cord? I tie the knot and it is super loose. Just can't get it.

I found the small wooden colorful buttons at Amazon and the red solid buttons at Artist Supply Source.

The videos I found suggested tying a surgeons knot in the elastic. You make a regular knot but you keep winding the ends around a couple more times. I think I wound the ends around more than 3 times. Then you make a regular knot on top of that to make sure it is secure.
